Why Nebraska Has The Lowest Unemployment Rate in the US

Why Nebraska Has The Lowest Unemployment Rate in the US During the Great Recession, North Dakota was the nation’s golden child, where the unemployment rate never topped 4.3% even as joblessness across the rest of the country reached double digits. But as the economic recovery has played out, another state has undercut North Dakota’s impressively low rate: Nebraska. At 2.6%, the state’s unemployment rate is the lowest in the nation. The rate for June is also Nebraska’s second lowest rate recorded in more than a decade and lower than North Dakota’s 3.1% rate, according to monthly local unemployment data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While North Dakota can attribute its low unemployment rate to the state’s fracking boom, the reasons for Nebraska’s low joblessness are less clear. However, one explanation could be that the state’s job market didn’t suffer as much as the rest of the country during the dark days of the recession. “In Nebraska, it was just a bad recession rather than a Great Recession,” says Eric Thompson, director of the Bureau of Business Research at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. “We were hit hard by the recession, but not nearly as hard as many other states.” What’s more, Nebraskans have their state’s diverse economy to thank. “There’s not one segment of the economy that dominates the state, such as automobile manufacturing in Michigan. We don’t have anybody that big,” says John Albin, Nebraska’s commissioner of labor. And it didn’t hurt that agriculture, the industry that contributes the most to the state’s GDP, “was going through a boom time right when the rest of the economy was tanking,” he says. Crop prices were up thanks to a falling dollar and robust overseas demand. Corn, for instance, reached $7.50 per bushel in early 2008. That meant “manufacturers were still making farm equipment and car dealerships were still selling pickups,” Albin says. “In this last recession, that cushioned us a lot.” The state was largely spared from the housing market crash, too. “Construction activity, including home building, did drop sharply during the Great Recession. However, our home prices had not risen that much and therefore did not fall much during the housing crisis,” Thompson says. The median property value in Nebraska was $122,600 between 2007 to 2009, according to the U.S. Census. Between 2010 to 2012, it increased to $127,800. (By comparison, Florida, among the states hardest hit by the housing market crash, saw median property value drop from $210,800 to $154,900 during the same period.) Nebraska’s geography was a factor in its dodge of that crisis. The state’s landlocked location in the midwest means it has few natural barriers to population growth. Oceans and rivers limit housing expansion in places like California, New York City, or Massachusetts, which saw rapid increases in home values before the housing market crashed. “In Nebraska, if demand is there you can always just convert more farmland to housing,” Thompson says. In explaining the state’s current 2.6% jobless rate, Thompson points to what he says is Nebraska’s high quality labor force. At 88.5%, Nebraska ranks second nationwide in high school graduation, according to the most recent data released by the Department of Education. (First place is neighboring Iowa, where the rate is 89.7%.). According to the Census, 28.5% of Nebraskans 25 years of age and older hold a bachelor’s degree or higher, just under the nationwide rate of 28.8%. “In short, Nebraskans have good resumes in terms of education and historyâ€"these are the types of workers who generally have lower unemployment rates and also fair well during a recession. Employers try to find ways to keep such employees and when workers with good resumes do lose their jobs, they are usually able to find one quicker,” Thompson says. Indeed, in June, the national unemployment rate among high school graduates was 5.4%, according to the BLS figures. For individuals without a high school diploma, it was 8.2%. To be sure, not everyone is convinced that the state’s super low unemployment rate is a sign of a healthy economy. A closer look at job growth “portrays an economy that’s not as healthy as when just unemployment is considered,” says Ernie Goss, an economics professor at Creighton University in Omaha. In the past three months, payrolls in the state have dropped from just over 1 million in April to 999,300 in May to 997,000 in June. Goss pegs that dip to the same factors that buoyed Nebraska’s economy during the recessionâ€"commodity prices, which have declined with the strengthening U.S. dollar. “You can trace slowing job growth to the farm economy,” Goss says. BLS employment figures don’t capture farm jobs, but they would reflect a slow down in the services that support the agriculture industry. Nebraska’s low jobless rate and decreasing employment is certainly a disconnectâ€"you’d expect unemployment to increase as employment shrank. There are a few theories to explain the rift: For one thing, Nebraskans have a propensity to hold multiple jobsâ€"7.9% do so, compared to 4.9% nationallyâ€"which means if a worker with two jobs loses one, she would be considered unemployed. Goss says that workers who lose a job could be leaving the state or returning to work on farms â€" both scenarios would mean they wouldn’t budge the state’s jobless rate.

5 Important Reminders For ALL Young Professionals - Work It Daily

5 Important Reminders For ALL Young Professionals - Work It Daily I’m starting over. Again. Related: What I’ve Learned 7 Months Out Of College Not even one year since I’ve graduated from college where I majored in Communication Studies and minored in napping, I’ve been offered my second “big girl” job. And I’m pretty, ridiculously excited. I had a lot of mentors telling me not to look for a new job before I even completed a year seated at my first big girl desk in my first big girl position. And I have to admit that I was extremely hesitant to even apply. But when this new opportunity came along, I had to take the chance. Three hundred applicants, two months of interviews, referrals, tests, and portfolios, and in the end, I got the job. Me. So, even though I’m leaving my first job a little earlier than I may have anticipated, and I may be a twenty-something recent college grad, I’m pretty pleased with my decision and eager to move forward with my career. And I’m also insanely scared, because once again, I’m going to be the new girl in the office. And after the extensive interview process, I’ve met just about everyone I’ll be working with. Let me tell you, I’m undoubtedly going to be the youngest in the office, too. I’m starting over. Again. So, how does one college grad handle so much change in under a year? Bubble wrap, for starters; both for packing purposes and as an inexpensive stress reliever. Secondly, this list of reminders that you should constantly keep in mind as a young professional: 1. Age is just a number. As the old saying goes, a baby shark is still a shark. Age doesn’t define you. You may be thirty years younger than the person you share a cubicle with, so what? What defines you is your attitude and your ability to go get what you want. Don’t ever let anyone respect you or your work less just because they don’t understand you or your generation. 2. Remember your value. CAREEREALISM says it best: “Every job is temporary.” You should constantly be on the lookout for something better. Whether it’s a higher position within the company you currently work for, or because you know you’re worth more somewhere else. It doesn’t mean you have to start looking for jobs the second you sit down at your new desk, but just remember how much you’re capable of at any time. It’s important to take the early stages in any new job as a learning experience. Gather as much information as possible, and be the best you can. But if you ever feel like you’re not being appreciated for all you do after time, and all other options have been exhausted (such as voicing your feelings to your boss), then by all means, never forget how significant you are. 3. Network. Network. Network. Everywhere you go, connect with professionals. Gain knowledge, experience, and skills from everyone you meet â€" good and bad. Every single person you meet can and might just benefit you sooner or later. Build your professional relationships and never burn bridges. Everyone you meet in your career, even in the early stages, is valuable. 4. Be who you are. Sounds corny, right? The best way to succeed in your new job, career, or just life in general is to be unapologetically you. You could be someone else, or pretend like you know what you’re doing when you don’t, but you’re only going to hurt yourself in the long run. Don’t lie in an interview; don’t spoil your profession by being a phony. Don’t act like someone you’re not when communicating with those you work with. You want your peers to trust you, to know YOU. 5. Never be afraid to start over. Starting over means you’re growing. It means you’re developing as a professional and as a human being. It means you’re showing, each day, more and more of whom you are. And each time it’ll be only a sliver of the person you’re going to someday be. When you look back, you’re going to want to remember starting over and how exciting, terrifying, and absolutely exhilarating it was. You never want to be in the same spot. Keep moving forward. If you’re starting over, again, that’s OK. It means you had the guts to start. And if you’re just starting, don’t forget how far you’re about to go. Cara Jo was born and raised in South Jersey.
